We'll evolve nonetheless. This may halt natural evolution as such, but it will just be replaced by guided evolution. We’ll evolve nonetheless.

It's not that far in the future. Other articles on this website have addressed that issue. It will occure first in artificial insemination, but it can be implemented in natural pregnancies too. As the article says, in ten years we've gone from the first genome to a study of over a thousand. In a similiar time frame we will eradicate genetic diseases. @Ian: yes.
